Default gts rotors

My current s4s rotors are getting to be shot, or wore out, recently talking to Kibort about it and we both want to put the gts rotors on my car, before I buy brand new ones dose anyone have any pretty new and good condition? Thanks

go for some nice drilled rotors , stock S4. the GTS rotors only work with the spacers, but also there is some grinding needed on the calipers. not worth the effort.

Drilled or slotted?

Cayenne would be more expensive right? But last longer built for the suv weight?

Give me a part number for the Cayenne rotors and I can tell you the price.
I have X drilled S4 rotors for $142 each for the fronts and $130 each for the rears.

One con is that Dodge Cheyenne rotors won't fit on a 928. Please work on your spell checking.

Dodge parts on a 928..........what next?

seriously, the rotors Roger sells are cast in hole, I have them on all 4 cornesrs of my S4........the rotors with new pads and a higher pressure bias valve it stops just as good if not better than the GTS with the bigger rotors, calipers etc.

I would never recommend used brake rotors although some sell one season raced units that are well within street spec.........MHO

cayanne rotors will only work with special adapters for offset and radius on the early models. S4 can use them without special adapters, and for only a couple of tenths of an inch diameter diff, that would certainly not be worth it, cept for the cost savings of rotors from the cayanee. 13" vs 12.9" for the GTS/964turbo rotors. $170 each vs 100 each for the cayanne.

they cayenne rotors are near the same diameter as the GTS. GTS are flat, and 964T rotors are the same but drilled. both same offset. cayanne are not going to work because they are a different offset. as i said, they can only be used with early cars, AND you need centering rings too for them to work along with an adapter that no one has made to date. Scot uses the cayanne rotors on his 84 now with old calipers. very cool!!! the only advantage is that they are 13" even, and yes they will work but on early cars only with the adpater.

the stock S4 with holed rotors are not as good as GTS, for street, you would never be able to tell the difference. ever! on the track, yes, there is a diff.
